Big Stan (2007)

I can say i am Rob Schn....'s fan. I liked this movie, its interesting, doesn't sound or look silly as most of the Adam Sandler's movies does.

Its quite a entertaining movie and Rob should really come up with more number of movies under his direction. Keeping in mind its his first effort still he did a wonderful job.

Acting is good by all, good number of laughs.

Its not an hilarious comedy like hot chick or animal or deuce bigalo but i would say this is good time pass and worth a watch.

I would recommend you to watch it for Rob Schneider.

I would give it a sincere 7.

Fmovies: This one was actually one very funny movie indeed....The fact that Bob actually KNOWS KUNGFU helped the believability a whole lot!

A lot of sexual talk and innuendo without nudity? Yes, apart from Bob's own naked butt, which I personally didn't find offensive :D....

Story is not the most original, but who cares when it is executed without flaw, the acting, sets and people are actually believable...

NOT TO BE MISSED!

I would see it again and would probably laugh my ass off just as much. As a matter of fact, I think I am actually going to watch it again tonight.

The fraudulent real state agent Stan (Rob Schneider) is married with his beloved Mindy (Jennifer Morrison) and has a seven million dollar fortune. When he is arrested for fraud, he is sentenced to three years in prison and his assets are frozen by the justice. However, his crooked lawyer Lew Popper (M. Emmet Walsh) negotiates a six month freedom, and the weak Stan, who is afraid of being raped in prison, hires the specialist in martial arts The Master (David Carradine) to teach him self-defense. Six months later, Big Stan is sent to the Oaksburgh State Penitentiary totally confident in his expertise in martial arts. He challenges the violent leaders of the gangs and defeats them, being respected by the inmates and bringing peace in the patio. However, the dirty Warden Gasque (Scott Wilson) has the intention of transforming the penitentiary in a luxury resort, and uses Big Stan knowledge to improve his project, promising to release him sooner using the corrupt penal system.

I have been a big fan of Rob Schneider since "Men Behaving Badly" and I am never disappointed with his funny movies. "Big Stan" is no exception, and this tribute to "Prison Break" and "Kung Fu" is another hilarious entertainment of this great comedian. I laughed a lot with his jokes and situations and I really recommend this comedy for those days that the viewer is down or worried with something to relax and relief the tension, or seeking an amusing and light entertainment. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Big Stan – Arrebentando na Prisão" ("Big Stan – Blowing Away in the Prison")

Big Stan fmovies. I've seen many comedy movies in my life, some good and some bad. Some comedy movies involve large quantities of drugs or nudity to support the humor. This movie however shows that with the right amount of goof and whit you can make a most excellent comedy. Big Stan tells the story about a con artist that finds himself a ticket to prison for fraud. This very skinny (please make sure to watch his legs) guy has to survive in prison. Without telling too much about the story involved, this movie makes sure you have a good time. There is a great cast and even the smaller roles are cast with effort. This movie makes you wish every prison out there had their own Big Stan! There aren't many movies this funny and sadly lacking a lot of publicity this movie is a gem among the many lacking comedies.I think a lot of people will find something they like in this movie. Humor is the most difficult thing to transfer across cultures, but this movie has a little something for everyone. From people enjoying easy humor found in stoner comedies to those who love Mr. Bean, this movie uses a great blend of humor.

This movie will make you laugh beyond a doubt, try it and find your own funny bone.

Big Stan wasn't really advertised at all and it just sort of came out into the video stores like it was a terrible movie. I thought that at first, but when I actually watched it I felt that it was surprisingly a funny movie. After seeing other prison comedies like Let's Go To Prison, The Longest Yard, etc. I thought that this would probably not even be as funny as those, but it really was a pretty good movie. Rob Schneider normally works in the most terrible movies of all time, but even though this didn't make it to theaters, it still was enjoyable and worth watching at least one time.

8/10

If you don't like any of his previous movies, big chance is that you won't like this one. If you do enjoyed his movies than this one will be even more enjoyable. It seems that Rob Schneider has matured. He tackles serious subjects (prison system) in a fun way. Some of the jokes have been done to death and can be tiresome. But because of Schneider's performance they still are acceptable. Of course you don't have to expect this movie to have any social or political impact. I just want to mention that it is big step up for Schneider in comparison to "The Animal" or "Deuce Bigalow". David Carradine clearly has gotten very old but still can deliver. Especially in this movie. Since he is parodying himself. He is making fun of the character he played in "Kung Fu" but at the same time embracing and honouring the role that brought him fame. Worth watching!
